Tongtian Pass has a very tight defense. When Xia Fan and Xia Xue appeared from afar, someone shouted loudly, warning them not to get closer.

Then a team of defenders came over and asked about their identities and intentions. They heard that they were here to find Xia Lei and Xia Yu, but they did not let them go directly, but just sent someone to report.

With such delay, it had been half an hour since Xia Fan saw Xia Yu.

However, Xia Fan was not angry because Tongtian Pass was so tightly defended and how these soldiers were responsible was a good thing. This would at least ensure that there would be no omissions due to defensive negligence when dealing with the enemy's invasion.

"I'm sorry, sorry." Xia Yu smiled when he saw Xia Fan and Xia Xue.

"We don't have to be so polite." Xia Fan waved his hand and said, "Can I go to Tongtian Pass to take a look."

"Of course, please, please." Although Xia Yu no longer had the hatred of Xia Fan as before, it was impossible to say that he was extremely intimate, so he acted very politely, as if he was with a stranger, with a sense of distance.

Xia Fan didn't care about his attitude. Anyway, he didn't come here to talk about brotherly love. It was just right that he was so polite and a little alienated, so he was not embarrassed by each other.

Because the construction of Tongtian Pass is quite special, its width is 230 miles in total, but it is 500 or 600 miles long, forming a city embedded in the gap in Tongtian Ridge.

The entire Tongtian Pass is actually a huge military camp, and there are almost no real civilians here.

The men and women, young and old in the city are related to the soldiers guarding here.

In this way, although the soldiers will not miss their relatives at home because of their long-term guarding here, they will also have a real reason to defend this Tongtian Pass. That is, if they cannot defend this Pass, their relatives will really die at the hands of the enemy.

Since Tongtian Pass is not an ordinary city at its core, but more like a fortress, the streets and buildings in the city are completely different from ordinary cities.

It is like a house in an ordinary city, and the windows of ordinary houses can be built larger in order to make the lighting better. The picture is a bright hall.

However, the windows of the houses in Tongtianguan are very narrow, and iron bars were added during construction. In this way, because the windows are narrow, it is difficult for arrows to fly in. With iron bars, no one can climb in. If the door is locked, each house is a small fortress.

This is just the most trivial place, and there are more to praise.

Xia Fan noticed that although the men, women, young and old were dressed up on the street, they were all dressed up by civilians, but they were not weak.

"The people here are also practicing?" Xia Fan asked casually.

"Yeah." Xia Yu nodded and said, "Almost every family can live here, there are people serving in the army. It is not difficult to learn the practice techniques in the army. If it is elsewhere, it must be prohibited to pass on the martial arts skills, but it is different here."

Xia Yu pointed to the tall city in the distance, and pointed to the distance and said, "This place is too remote, so even if a war starts, it will take a lot of time to get over. In order to deal with the situation where no one is available during the war, ordinary people are allowed to practice. If there are no soldiers available, they can be pulled over to the city for at least a while."

Xia Fan nodded and said nothing.

After wandering around the city, Xia Fan followed Xia Yu to the top of the city again.

The city walls of Tongtian Pass are quite high, more than 600 feet tall, which is already higher than some small hills.

However, it is much shorter than Tongtianling and Longshou Mountain on the left and right. In this way, at least it will not be criticized when the sky thunder hits.

After Xia Fan came to Tongtian Pass, the thunder around him never stopped, and dazzling thunder and lightning flashed across the sky from time to time.

Neither the defenders on the top of the city nor the people in the city care about this, nor the people in the city care about it. They are obviously used to it. I am afraid that they will not be awakened by the huge thunder when they go to bed at night.

Xia Fan was standing above the city wall now, looking up at the lightning and lightning intertwined in the sky, and also understood why the Great Sun Demon Kingdom did not try to cross the Tongtian Ridge to invade Western Xinjiang.

In addition to the fact that Tongtian Ridge is too steep and steep, I am afraid that I am also afraid of the lightning that has stopped all the time.

If the soldiers of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom climbed Tongtian Ridge like this, both the weapons in their hands and the armor on them were all very attractive to lightning. Maybe before they could launch an attack, the soldiers would have been seriously damaged under the attack of lightning.

Xia Fan turned his gaze to the opposite side and could see that outside Tongtian Pass there was a wasteland with a depth of about one or two hundred miles, full of gravel on the ground. Except for some weeds and shrubs, there were no big trees about a meter taller than a meter taller than a few feet away.

Even further away, although there are no cities, there are endless camps, and there are many burly soldiers walking around.

"Where is the military camp of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom?" Xia Fan pointed ahead and asked casually.

"That's right." Xia Yu nodded.

"What are their changes recently?" Xia Fan asked while looking at the layout of the military camp opposite and the soldiers walking there.

"In the past few days, the soldiers of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom left the military camp and wandered outside the city." Xia Yu said: "I got closer several times less than five hundred feet away from our city gate. Although I did not launch a direct attack, the meaning of provocation was quite obvious."

"It seems that the Great Sun Demon Kingdom is about to be unable to hold back." Xia Fan said: "We should try our best to keep our restraint and not provoke wars. If we can delay the war's start later, we will have more soldiers, food, grass and weapons, which will be more beneficial to us."

"I understand." Xia Yu nodded and then said, "It's just that the other party keeps provoking, but we have always tolerated it, which is a bit harmful to morale."

"If they can provoke us, will we have no other way to fight back?" Xia Fan sneered: "As long as we don't stab the sword directly on them, who can say that we have started the battle?"

"Yeah." Xia Yu thought for a while and said, "You are right to say that, but I still have to think about what to do."

"Not only can you think about it, but also let your soldiers and generals think about it. As long as you don't stay idle, you will naturally not be depressed." Xia Fan said this, suddenly pointed to Tongtianling and Longshou Mountain on both sides and said, "Has anyone ever been there?"

"Someone has tried to go up before, but as soon as they got up, there was a bombardment of thunder. Even the powerful people in the divine realm could not stand it, and some people died because of it, so no one went up rashly." Xia Yu said this, looking at the towering Longshou Mountain, full of yearning.

"You haven't been there?" Xia Fan asked with a smile.

"I did go there before, but after destroying two magic weapons, I got down in a very embarrassed state." Xia Yu said disappointedly: "I haven't been there again since then. According to legend, it is the road to heaven. I really want to go and see what it looks like."

"When this battle is over, if you have the chance, I will take you up and have a look." Xia Fan said.

"Okay." Xia Yu's eyes lit up and he responded with anticipation.

The two of them walked around the city again, and Xia Fan asked Xia Yu to find a place to rest for him.

There are not only ordinary houses in Tongtian Pass, but also huge and sturdy general's mansion. They were originally for the generals stationed here to live.

Now that Xia Yu is here, it naturally becomes his temporary residence, and he also leaves a residence for Xia Fan and Xia Xue in the mansion. Although it is not very luxurious, it is better than spacious and clean.

After Xia Fan entered his residence, he set up a ban.

He was anxious to find a place to rest, of course not because of fatigue, but because he felt that some changes had occurred in the fire dragon clone he placed in the flame world. He was worried and naturally had to go and take a look.

After sacrificing the Heaven-Swallowing Pocket to travel through the void, Xia Fan soon came to the world of flames.

The current world of flames has undergone some great changes compared to when I came last time. The most obvious thing is that the vast lake has disappeared, replaced by a red magma lake. Not only are there flames, but there are also thick smoke that does not pass through the sky.

Although the lake was gone, the entrance to the water world that Xia Fan had laid down was still standing intact.

Xia Fan was not surprised why this big lake disappeared. He had already expected such a result since he put down the illusion of heavenly demons.

What he cares most about now is what changes the Fire Dragon clone has made.

As his thoughts moved, Xia Fan suddenly felt a fire passing by in the air. When he looked up, he couldn't help but be stunned.

It turned out that at this moment, an extremely huge fire dragon was flying overhead.

This fire dragon is naturally his clone, but it has become more than ten times larger than the beginning. Even though Xia Fan has excellent eyesight, when the fire dragon clone passes by at a low altitude, it is difficult for him to see both the head and tail at one glance.

When the fire dragon's huge body passed through the air, it was like an endless sea of ​​fire covering the sky, so that when you see it, there was only flames and nothing else.

However, although the Fire Dragon clone was huge, Xia Fan was not very satisfied with it because it contained many fragments of flame rules that were useless in his opinion. This made him look like a fat man who grew up after eating a scattered man, and he was just a sign of it.

Obviously, the Fire Dragon clone contacted him before and realized that he had some problems, so he needed to help him solve them.

In the flash of golden light, the brilliant golden lotus appeared above Xia Fan's head.

"Hu..." The next moment, the fire dragon clone dived down from the air, opened its mouth violently, and spit out violent flames at Xia Fan.

These flames are fierce and seem to be extremely fierce, but their colors are quite mixed, which gives people the feeling that they were not as red and black as before.
